Hi Chris, In CentOS 7, error logs are handled by systemd. Use the "journalctl -u mariadb.service" command to view them. I have no idea what's wrong with the general logs though. Maybe that's some permission issue. Please check that the mysql user can write in /var/log/mysql. You might have success by changing the log path to your datadir, e.g. to /mnt/mysqldbs/mysql.log, since mysqld can always write in its own datadir.

Hello,
I have just moved from a MySQL 5.6 server on CentOS 6.8 to a MariaDB 10.1.21 server on CentOS 7. It is installed and working.
I would like to set up some logging, but it has not gone as expected. I have binary logging working. However, I can’t generate general logs or error logs. Here is part of the /etc/my.cnf file:
user=mysql
port = 3306
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
datadir = /mnt/mysqldbs
log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log
general_log_file = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
general_log = 1
log_bin = /mnt/mysqldbs/logs/mysql-bin
I assume that after a restart, the logs will be generated, then logged to as events happen. As it is, no log files are generated.
Many thanks. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss Post to : maria-discuss@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
